I remember a story where people asked about blobs included in Ventoy and there were no comments from the devs, leading to suspicion.

At the time it wasn’t clear to me if there was any substance to the story or if it was the usual Internet exaggeration, so I resolved to ignore it for the time being and saved a reminder to look into it after a while.

Now my reminder fired off and I looked around, but couldn’t find how the story ended… do you know?

    Looks like contributor is busy with work. Always the risk with open source. If things aren’t raised in a reasonable manner, I can imagine the temptation is to follow it up with a middle finger.

    Many seemed to care about it enough to bash it, but not enough to create and maintain a fork. They just want to boss it over the maintainer.

      Agreed: now that I’m looking at the whole thing, this looks like a story where the FOSS community left much to be desired.
